steering shakes@100+ mph?
In Texas, we have 80mph posted speed limits in some places. Last year the law changed to allow 85mph limits, but I haven't seen any roads signed for that, yet.
But your issue sounds like you just need them balanced.
There's two kinds of wheel balancing. The standard type is static balancing. Most shops do those. It's balanced for typical road speeds. If you want wheels to be balanced for high speed, you need to go to a shop that does road force balancing. They not only balance the weight offset for the wheel but also factor in the weight offset of the tire. They basically are neutralizing the weight offset of both together. Used primarily for performance applications. But you could end up paying $20-$30 per wheel for that. I would try that first. If that doesn't get rid of the vibe you need to be looking at rotors or suspension bushings.
How do u get to 100 at the strip???? Boosted?
My thoughts exactly..
I hope Cali doesn't adopt that Super Speeder sht. Knock on wood.
Did you get your wheels re-balanced yet? Just be safe. Don't want to see another member get hurt. I know it a lot of fun at that flying speed from experience but if caught that ticket will not have mercy on you. (Knock on wood)

First and foremost, be safe out there; too many variables to be speeding around like that. All it takes is one soccer mom not looking and pulling out in front of you, or worse, into you as you're passing.
That said I'd start by having your tires balanced and go from there. Also, how old are your tires and do you hear any unusual suspension noises?
